Twice-a-week watering restrictions remain in effect

A reminder — the City’s twice-a-week water conservation measure is still in effect. The year-round ordinance is consistent with measures in many other area communities, with outdoor watering days determined by street numbers.

Even - Residents with addresses ending in an even number can use automatic sprinkler systems on Sundays and Thursdays.

Odd - Addresses ending in an odd number can use automatic sprinkler systems on Saturdays and Wednesdays.

Buildings or facilities with multiple addresses will water based on their lowest street address number.

Addresses that continue to be in violation will be mailed a formal notice. A Municipal Court citation will be issued after that. Learn more about twice-a-week wateringand how to keep lawns healthy year-round.
